hey guys,i've got one client who is using the 2.0 version of YaBB and it is great. it goes without saying that 2.0 leaves any version of Infopop's Ubb in the dust.i have another client who is using the old InfoPop 6.6.1 version. i'd really like to change them over, but don't want to lose any members, threads, etc.

is there a converter, a method, or one in the works? if there isn't one, is it possible to hire someone to write a converter?

thanks,grant

Is this the same forum that is available to buy from http://www.ubbcentral.com/ ? If so, I personally will need some sample data along with a little description (for example, make a topic that's locked and tell me what topic it is).

As far as I know, we don't have a direct UBB converter for YaBB 2. I thought, however, that a community member built one a long time ago for the old Y1 Gold line. If we can dig that up, we could convert your UBB files to the older YaBB format, then convert them from Y1 -> Y2. In theory, it should work. I'll dig around and see if I or another team member has a copy.

No promises, though. Since UBB isn't nearly as popular as it once once, we've not had many requests for converters.

hey guys,i finally received approval for funds to have our UBB board converted to YABB. is there anyone who is up to the challenge and if so, how much? it is important that we retain the user's files, posts, threads, etc in tact.

thanks,grant

I'd need to find out where I can get a copy of the source code, but I can do it for free once this month ends, I think.
